In 2006, Bt and non-Bt cottons were evaluated for control of bollworm, tobacco budworm, beet armyworm, and cabbage looper in a small block trial. Cotton was under boll weevil eradication and untreated against noctuid complex. Results indicated a similar and significant lower damage and larval survival for both dual gene products compared with Bollgard and conventional cotton.
